In my research, I rely on innovative methodological approaches to re-examining “old” questions in education research. Doing so, I hope to improve the quality of evidence on some of the key questions to education policy and practice. In particular, I concentrate on questions related to the organization of educational institutions, looking at how organizational decisions impact the formation of racial and socioeconomic inequalities in education opportunity. This work is defined by two main areas of research, detailed below.
